We don't have evidence that life exists on planets other than Earth, but our presence in the Universe proves that the existence and prevalence of life in the Universe is a matter of probability. Consider the Drake Equation as explained by Carl Sagan...

Try and talk around it as much as you want, but the fact still remain. We have zero proof of life existing and you and/or the Scientific community believe in alien life forms existing with no shred of evidence. You are a hypocrite to mock people who have faith in God, yet you believe in E.T.

Quote whoever you want. Provided whatever graphical statists you want. Its all bullshit, since none of it can be proven. It all boils down to faith.

Having faith in oneself is a lot different from having faith in God because having faith in oneself, unlike having faith in God, usually does not involve believing extravagant claims. For instance, I have faith in my ability to cook eggs because I've eaten evidence of my ability to cook eggs. Conversely, I don't have faith in God because I've never come across any evidence that God exists.

Did you ever think that you've never come across evidence because you never wanted to? That you couldn't or wouldn't recognize it because you don't want it to be real?

It is nothing against you to fall down flat, but to lie there - that's disgrace

Did you not watch the video of Carl Sagan explaining the Drake Equation? Sagan clearly indicated that there is a chance that we might be alone in the Universe.

Like Carl Sagan, I don't claim to know that aliens exist. I just think that the presence of life on Earth strongly suggests that life may exist on planets other than Earth. Religious people, however, claim to know that God exists and often won't even consider the possibility that it does not.

I don't have any problem wth people engaging in speculation about God's existence. In fact, I'm completely in favor of that sort of speculation. I just don't think that people should base belief systems on speculation.

I can say with great certainty that when the last Communist nation falls to Democracy - installed there by our benevolent society, there will still be about 3 billion human beings living under various forms of communism, under the guise of Christianity.

At Coretta Scott King's funeral in early 2006, Ethel Kennedy, the widow of Robert Kennedy, leaned over to him and whispered, "The torch is being passed to you." "A chill went up my spine," Obama told an aide. (Newsweek)

In his book God is not Great, Christopher Hitchens makes a very compelling argument that totalitarianism and religion are derived from the same impulses...

I used to like Hitchens. He is sometimes very eloquent. Now he's just become a Neo-con talking boy. Sad really. At least his brother has not lost his mind.
He doesn't come across as a happy atheist at all.
